United States Patent 3,193,866 ROTARY BRUSH MEANS AND BRUSH STRHP SLAQK ACCUMULATQR THEREFGR Lloyd E. Jones, Pasadena, Caliil, assignor to Industrial Brush Company, Arcadia, Calif., a corporation of California Filed July 16, 1963, Ser. No. 295,451 4 Claims. (Cl. 15-182) The present invention relates to a rotary brush means and more particularly to a slack accumulator for a brush strip means adapted to relieve slack produced by longitudinal creepage of brush strip means wound around and along a brush core member during rotation.
Heavy duty rotary type brushes typified by those used in cleaning or sweeping streets or large industrial areas may embody several different constructions. The present invention is directed primarily to a helically wound brush means wherein brush bristles or filaments are first secured in a brush strip member and the brush strip member with filaments is coiled or wound circumferentially around a core to produce a cylindrical brush means. With this type of brush means the brush strip member is subjected to constant longitudinal stress due to the progressive flexing of the brush filaments of each turn as ends thereof contact and strike the surface to be swept. This continual longitudinal stress in turn produces an elongation of the brush strip means. Should both ends of the brush strip means be immovably fixed to the core on which the brush strip means is wound, a slight hump or buckling of the brush strip means is ultimately produced near one of its ends. Even though the brush strip means are initially carefully wound on the core and a certain amount of initial tension is applied to seat the brush strip means on the core, invariably a small amount of slackness results. This slackness creeps or feeds towards one end of the brush strip means and accumulates at such one end when the brush means is put in operation. Thus, in addition to the elongation due to the constant use of the brush, a certain amount of slack will result initially due to the inherent difiiculties of tautly winding a brush strip means on the core.
Heavy-duty rotary brush means of the type described must be dynamically and statically balanced. First, should the brush become circumferentially unbalanced, the unbalance, however slight, will produce an uneven unbalanced rotation of the brush means. The centrifugal force produced by such unbalance at one location on the brush means causes rapid wear of the supporting bearings, reducing bearing life, and thereby adding to the cost of maintenance and operation of a street sweeping machine. In addition, when the brush means is unbalanced the sweeping machine becomes difficult to operate and maneuver, thereby endangering other vehicles on the street as well as the safety of the operator.
Secondly, when a hump or buckling of the brush strip means is produced near one of the ends of the brush the circumference of the brush loses the absolute radial uniformity required for a clean efiicient sweeping operation. Since the outer brush filament ends of rotary brush means are accurately trimmed to give a uniform and virtually continuous cylindrical brushing surface, any excrescences or protuberances of the type produced by such buckling will result in an inefficient sweeping operation.
Consequently, there is a need for a means or device that will retain the brush strip means tautly wound on the core yet will absorb or accumulate the initial slack and the creepage resulting from the longitudinal elongation of the brush strip means. The device of the present invention provides a novel means wherein a flexible mem- 3,193,866 Patented July 13, 1965 ber is attached to an end of a brush strip member so that the flexible member absorbs or accumulates the aforementioned slack and elongation, thereby allowing the brush strip means to maintain its unbuckled true cylindrical brush surface configuration.
In this invention the flexible member is attached at one end to a nonfixed end of brush strip means and at the other end to the core on which the brush strip means is wound. The flexible member may be attached to the core by means of an adjustable friction clamp whereby the clamp may be periodically readily adjusted to remove slack accumulated in the flexible member. This unique features insures the proper seating of the brush strip means on the core and its configuration at all times.
Accordingly, it is a general object of the present invention to provide a slack accumulator for a rotary brush means that avoids the foregoing disadvantages encountered in such rotary brush means.
An object of the present invention is to disclose and provide a slack accumulator for a rotary brush means that absorbs the slack created in a brush strip means wound on a high-speed rotary brush means.
Another object of the present invention is to disclose and provide a slack accumulator that aids in maintaining the trimmed cylindrical outer sweeping surface of a brush means.
A further object of the present invention is to disclose and provide a slack accumulator to be used on a rotary rush means to preserve the brush in a statically and dynamically balanced condition.
Still another object of the present invention is to disclose and provide a slack accumulator adapted to attach one end of a brush strip means to a brush core and absorb or accumulate any slack in the brush strip means resulting from creepage of the brush strip means due to elongation caused by repeated and continued use.
A further object of the present invention is to disclose and provide a rotary brush means that maintains statical and dynamical balance for substantially the life of the brush filaments.
Other objects and many of the attendant advantages of this invention will be readily appreciated as the same become better understood by reference to the following detailed description of the accompanying drawings showing an exemplary embodiment of the invention.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 shows a front elevation view, partly in section, of a rotary brush means illustrating an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is an end view taken from the left of FIG. 1 showing the slack accumulator of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along plane indicated by lines HIIII of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary view of a tang attachment at the end of a brush strip.
FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along plane indicated by lines VV of FIG. 4.
Referring now to the drawings, wherein like reference characters designate like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, there is shown in FIG. 1, which illustrates a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an exemplary heavy-duty brush means 10. The
brush means 10 includes a cylindrical elongated core means 11 which may be either solid or hollow and con- I structed of metal or wood in well known manner.
with a helical groove 15 extending for the length of the core means. Helical groove 15 may be of any crosssectional configuration suitably adapted to receive and hold a brush strip means 20, in this example a polygonal crosssectional configuration is shown. Ends of helical groove 15 terminate in enlarged openings 16 provided in periphen ages eral marginsof endplates 13a of the core means, only one groove end being shown, the other end being similarly arranged. Each opening 16 extends to the bottom of t the groove 15 and is peripherallyor circum'ferentially elongated. One edge of said opening or aperture 16 is proximate to the end 20a of brush strip means 21).
Received within helical groove 15 and wound tautly 7 ing through opening 16, is disposed along a chord line of plate 13, the chord line extending from said proximate edge of the opening 16 to the cable clamp 34, and extending generally in the direction of the helical winding of the brush strip means. As best seen in FIG. 2 flexible member 31) is then held tautly in position'by cable clamp 34. Brush means is now ready for use and for mounting on a sweeping machine.
around core means 11 is a brush strip means 29. Brush 7 strip mcansZi) may be of any suitable brush striptype and may be of the type disclosed in copending application No.
119,869 filed June 27, 1961. Generally, brush strip means 2% comprises an elongated channel-like body member 21 p 7 as best seen in FIG. 5. Radially outwardly extending brush elements or filaments 22 are foldable within body member 21 and held in place by a retainer element 24 and by intermittently spaced crimps 23 along'the upperside wall edges "of the body member. The retainer element '24] may be of the twisted pair wire type as disclosed in copendingapplication No. 187,388 filed April 13, 1962; now Patent No. 3,137,021. Material for thebrush'filament 22 may be synthetic fibers, natural fibers, or metal bristles, Whichever of such materials. being best intended use ,of. the brush means.
At one end of brush strip means 21 there is provided a flexible member 30 which extends longitudinally along the end portion of brush strip means 20 and projects or extendsbeyond the end extremity of the brush strip means 26. Flexible member 31) may be a suitable Wire or stranded'wire cable of relatively short length and of Suicient guage or diameter to providede'sired strength. The flexible member 30 may extend along the bottomwall of thebrush strip body or, if desired, along one of the legs or side walls of the channel-like body member 2-1.
A tang member 32 may secure flexible member 30 to the body 21 of the brush strip means 20. Tang member 7 adapted :for the The tang member 32 includes outstretched parallel pointed fingers 33 When in operation brush means 10 is rotated in the direction as indicated by arrow A in FIG. 2. As the brush means 10 is rotated and the brush filaments 22 contact and strike a surface (not shown) being swept, the progressive flexing of filaments 22 causes thebrush strip means 20 to first d ispla c e any'slack toward one end and then to elongate slightly. This slackand elongation creeps or 'r'eeds towardthe end 2th: of the brush strip means 26 where the device of the present. invention is located. As the brush strip means 2tl-is slightly circumferentially displaced, as by longitudinal creeping thereof during sweeping operations, end 26a may pass the proximate edge of opening 16. Flexible member 30 is' provided sufficient space in the enlarged opening 16 so that it may travel with the end Zila and may bend or flex with such creepage, but will not act to restrain nor restrict such creepage. As best seen in PEG. 2 the new position of the end of the brush strip means 20 after elongation is indicated in phantom lines. The slack accumulated in the flexible member 30 and indicated at S can then easily be removed by loosening bolts 34a in the cable clamp 34 and drawing the flexible member tight. A tightening of the cable clamp 34 will then return the brush means 10 to its operative condition with the brush strip means 20 tautly wound in groove 15.
that are adapted to be bent transversely over top edges of side walls of the body member 21 to tightly clamp the.

The tang member 32 then tightly frictionally embraces or grasps the channel like body member 21 to frictionally hold and fix flexible member 31) on the end of body member 21. To facilitate assembly, an'end portion of flexible member 30 may be Welded to the inner surface of the bottom wall of the tang member 32. Other means may be used to secure flexible w It should be' noted that the brush means 10 virtually never becomes dynamically unbalanced due to the creepage of the brush strip means 20. No humps or buckling are created by this creepage in that flexible member 31 accumulates any slack which is periodically removed.
It 'should be particularly noted that longitudinal displacement of brush strip means 20 is transmitted to a relatively small light weight narrow flexible member in a direction whichpositions the member 30' progressively closer to the axis of the rotary brush means. Thus the effect of dynamic unbalancing dueto shift of material is reduced to the minimum because such shift is toward the axis instead'of away from the axisand dynamic balance remains virtually unchanged.
